Simple, Where did you get your blog name? and why did you choose it?
General Winter is a name i've used for a while; I tend to be cool under pressure in-game. The name itself was the russian nickname for the 1942-43 winter that halted Operation Barbarossa.
It's a long and complex story...
It started 817 Martian years ago...
On Mars...
A child was born...
A child who would grow to enter the Royal Family of Mars...
A child who would become a Maniac of the Imperial Martian Forces...
A child who was named...

because i'm pious, proper and proud of it.
I made Motep up when I was 8 years old and have been using it ever since.
Griffin is my given first name, so there wasn't really anything creative on my part there :P
Mightily Oats is a character in one of the early Terry Pratchet discworld novels. He was a priest of some kind.
I didn't really associate with the character, I just liked the name...
Omanes Alexandrapolities is just two names randomly selected from Europa Barbarorum's Greek/Eastern Greek database. The Idiot part just represents my character :stupido3:
I stole pevergreen of some guy 5-6 years ago.
I also use The_Elusive_Sniper in a few FPS's.
Hmm...I need a new name methinks.
I play bass, and I can't spell.

Online = "Cyber" -> "Cybr"
Gamer = "Gamer" -> "Gamr"
Online Gamer -> "CybrGamr"

I'm a long-time Star Trek fan, and General (later Chancellor) Martok was one of my favorite characters on Deep Space Nine. :klingon:
I'd just finished reading Colleen M'cullough's First Man in Rome series when I first started playing MTW online so I picked Cornelius Lucius after Sulla's name. Shame I got it the wrong way round:oops: .
Should have been Lucius Cornelius. DOH!
I used to be Lord Alameda because I lived in Alameda, California. This past summer I moved my wife and two boys back to the place I was born (but never lived past age 6 mo.) to Great Falls, Montana. Since Lord Great Falls doesn't really work, I took the nickname we've always used for Great Falls, Gruffles. http://www.montanasentinel.com/gruffles/gifs/cowboy.gif
Picked this up a while ago
I'm just using my real name.
Lysander..as most members of this community would know was a Spartan commander during The Peloponnesian War and 13 is just my lucky number.
Nevermind what happened to the Templar Knights on that 13th day long ago.:beam:
In Tekken 3 there was a combo which was called phoenix illusion. So I took it fro there, because it sounds very good, also I put that illusion into brackets[].

Victor means "the conqueror" in Latin. Ya'll recognize it from RTW :2thumbsup:
Thanks! I was considering changing my name next time the option turned up - something slightly more humorous to tie in with my most recent TW game (M:TW VI), but I don't think that's necessary now.Quote:

Too bad Ajax had to die.

I usually just use Drake simply because i like latin and Draconius is latin for a standard bearer, who carried a dragon standard:book: , of the late Roman empire (classical one) and i anglicized it. I choses tiberius because i believe that he is probably the most underaprreciated of the Julio-Claudian emperors (first five emperors). also it is a common ancient latin name.:2thumbsup:
Ive used germanpeon since I started playing Warcraft 3 on battlenet, and I chose that name for some random reason. It doesnt really apply to anything else (for lack of Wc3 peons), but I use it anyway.
Because he was my grand-grand-grand-grand-grand-grandfather(!):bounce:
I love RTW.I love my name.Thats im here
Your original .org name was Decius Curtius :2thumbsup:Quote:

Quintus + 93= Quintus93
:2thumbsup:
Quintus
because of a snow storm I was staying with my aunt for a week. well she has 3 hyper kids so for 2 days I just kept thinking Why god why.
Drank the most horrible drink (dunno what it was, something non-alcholic in a glass bottle), so bad I smashed the bottle of the keyboard, all the broken the broken fell on the letters of the board and I put them in my account name in order size like A would be the biggest bit, followed by B, with E being small anough to have to bits on it
i dont eat enough oranges

Cool topic.
When I was in 7th-8th grade I was getting pretty interested in the Third Reich and it's history. Many of my friends started jokingly calling me "Hitler" and "nazi". To screw with them, and because I think it's a cool name, I thought of a cool name.
Der= The
Fasciti= Fascist
Derfasciti was born.:smiley2:
I couldn't think of any other name so I just took one from the book I was reading at that time. The name comes from the general forsaken, Sammual, in Robert Jordan's WoT series.
Well the forlorn hope were/are suicidal just like me. And supposedly my ancestors were French-Canadian fur traders.
Well, Bel Riose is the name of the last great emperor of the Galactic Empire in Isaac Asimov's Foundation Series (which is like, awesome). The Empire in the series is based on the Roman one in Edward Gibbon's "History of the Rise and Fall..." and Bel Riose just happens to be eerily similar to Belisarius, the rather talented (maybe exaggerated, I'm not well read on the subject) Byzantine general we all know.
-BelRiose
Well, I'm not the first to post it, but mine is also first initial, last name. My online names have gone through a series of changes in the past 10 years, starting with an RPG based name, until I eventually just decided to use my real name.
My username is unique, no one can figure it out, I will NEVR tell anyone!!
I'll eat my hat if someone guesses right!
You have a lust for war plus shouldn't you say that you'd eat your helmet? :laugh4:Quote:

Hi Titan of Gaul,
All you have to do is wait till your a full member and then a feild will appear in the "change e-mail/password" section. Just type your password in, your new name and away you go, you get yourself a new username! Good luck, cheers!Quote:

So, not all that unique but it tended to fit within most character limits and I liked the sound of it so I stuck with it.
Later on I came up with an original one that I use for most things now, ChaotikVisions. The meaning is pretty easy to get and it just has a nice ring to it. I think I originally came up with it when having to register for something and finding ChaosLord and variations taken.
Cegorach,

Only this way my huge ego can manifest itself properly:laugh4: :laugh4:
My handle comes from the trademark used by a long-forgotten anarchist named Zoy Clem.
He and a fellow conspirator (the Floy Boy) hoped to overthrow the government by defacing dollar bills with stupid artwork and odd statements such as "PLAY MONEY" or "FAKE" in prominent locations. Their signatures overlaid those of the original Treasurer and Secretary.
These two radicals would then spend this capital to place it back into circulation, hoping to confuse clerks and bank tellers everywhere. Or at least that’s how I pictured it.
Needless to say, the plan failed, but the artwork was very good and looked like it belonged on the bills. The only drawback was that the guerilla artists used extremely bright colors, which made the currency stand out like a long-extinct three-dollar note.
Anyway, I came upon one of these bills, and found the name Zoy Clem bizarre enough to remember, so eventually I started using it as a blog handle, partly because it seemed unique (I wouldn't have to worry about others taking it first), and also because it had a somewhat surreal history.
:laugh4:
You wouldn't perchance have a picture of one of those notes handy would you? :beam:
Sapi,
I kind of wish I did sometimes. The artwork was very intricate and the outlining looked to be done with India ink, which added some realistic touches. The bill I came into possession of was a 'BONE' instead of a 'ONE,' and poor George had become a stylized rendition of Elton John with large glasses. Underneath his bust was the title of Elton Geo.
Later, a friend of mine ran across a 'NIFTY' in place of a 'FIFTY.' We learned of still another example one night while talking about it at a party—a girl named Carrie joined us who mentioned encountering a ‘CONE.’ So it seems there were at least three of these works floating around.
We formulated a theory based on our recollections of the bills and the weird statements inscribed upon them: Floy and Zoy were misguided lunatics bent on overthrowing the system, using hopelessly quixotic tactics to achieve this outcome. We never decided on what ‘system’ they were actually seeking to overthrow, however.
I wish the 'Where's George' website had existed when I was passed this funny money, as I could have added the serial numbers into their database and tracked the bill after I spent it. Just think of the places it might have traveled. :balloon2:
I chose to name myself after Mother Yoda. (aka: Yoda's Mother)
One of my heroes is Publius Conrnelius Scipio Africanus. Goblin was my call sign when I was in the Navy. (I startled some Marine pilots at a briefing and they called me Green Goblin.) Therefore, Scipios' Goblin.

Just a helpful tip, don't posts in threads that have been dead (no posts) for a period of time. Especially not just under a year.
Welcome to the Org, scipiosgoblin. ~:wave:
As pevergreen pointed out, however, it's usually considered bad form to resurrect old threads like this. In the future, a general rule of thumb to follow is if it's been more than 3 months since someone last posted in a thread, you're better off leaving it be. :bow:
